What about that explosion in that Canadian port (harbour?) during WWI (I
can't remember the name, something with a 'H'), that was supposed to be
in
the kiloton range. It erased substancial portions of the town.

...And then there was the Texas City explosion back in '47, when a
tanker full of fertilizer caught fire and blew. The force was easily
in the kiloton range.

Thanks to all who helped me on 'Halifax'.

I wasn't aware that there had been so many other subsequent other large
conventional unintentional explosions. The way people seem to be handling
this stuff it seems amazing that any of us survived the 20th century at all
;-) .

Anyway we still have no clear conclussion on whether Halifax or any of the
subsequent abrupt expansion of hopeless far-too-energetic-compounds outranks
either the Saturn V or the N-1.

Who do we consult?

Is there a Guiness judge in the House?

Like I said before I'd rather see (and hear) Saturns (or their 21st century
makeovers) rising into the sky.

Just watching film footage is awesome enough. The real thing, even from the
viewing areas (let alone minimum safe distance) must have been MIND BLOWING
(not to mention hard on the ear-drums).

Yes. I judge that I'll need more Guiness.

....Well, I judged Guiness as being equivalent to roofing tar years
ago. Does that count?

Guinness isn't a drink, it's an ecosystem.

I'm not much of a beer drinker, but did discover I liked Guinness. But not
the aftertaste.

So, basically that meant as long as I was guzzling, I was fine. Not a good
thing. ":-)

....Actually, there's evidence that Guiness is nothing more than some
Limey's way of recycling Blancmanges that were killed off by dungeon
delvers :-)

Try it over waffles in the morning (with plenty of butter, of course).
Great way to jump start your day.

It's also a good wood sealer, but you can't sand it for a week...

The N-1 generated more thrust than the Saturn V (5,130,000 kgf vs.
3,946,624 kgf) so it was probably louder also.

ISTR reading in Reader's Digest that the Saturn V put out 180 million
horsepower, of which 2 million was in the form of sound.
